Double feature starring Basil Rathbone as detective Sherlock
Holmes. In 'The Hound of the Baskervilles' (1939), Sir Charles
Baskerville is found dead with an expression of utter terror on his
face, and the locals ascribe his demise to the ancient family curse
- a hell-hound, said to roam the moors. With the aid of Doctor
Watson (Nigel Bruce), Holmes sets out to discover whether there is
any substance to the legend - before Sir Henry Baskerville, newly
arrived from America to claim his inheritance, also falls prey to
the family curse. In 'Sherlock Holmes and the Voice of Terror'
(1942), mysterious wireless broadcasts - apparently from Nazi
Germany - are heard over the BBC airwaves. They warn of acts of
terror in England, just before they take place. Baffled, the
Defence Committee call in Holmes and his erstwhile assistant Doctor
Watson to investigate...
J. Percy Priest and His Amazing Race is a gift from Rebecca Harris
Stubbs to anyone interested in Tennessee history, American
political history, and the heroes who made this country great. With
previously unpublished letters, personal commentaries from Priest's
friends and associates, and academic analysis extracted from local,
state, and federal records, the author treats us to a light, often
delightful, and distinctly tender narrative. She delves into the
life of a former schoolteacher and journalist who entered Congress
with an upset win after a mere eight-week campaign, and became a
powerful committee chairman, an influential Congressional leader,
and close friend of Billy Graham. Priest left a pronounced mark on
Tennessee and American history, and his name is still associated
with integrity, commitment, and honor more than fifty years after
his untimely death at the age of fifty-six. For anyone in need of a
reminder of what American hero means, this is a book that must be
read.
